After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

"Genius designer? Haha, it's just a marketing strategy." Yu Guanmiao sneered. The lady's cigarette between her fingers was half burned, and curls of white smoke continued to rise.

She stared at Gu Chang's face closely, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Honestly, sometimes I even doubt you're human. After all, beings like you all enjoy toying with humans." Yu Guanmiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and as she spoke, she let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Aren't dinners like this designed for beings like you? When a man-eating tiger finds itself surrounded by food, it'll bare its fangs."

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Such a dinner? You mean, clearly priced goods?"

Yu Guanmiao took a puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and then said, "I told you that you have to let those people see your value. Only when they see your value will they invest. And this is a two-way choice."

Gu Chang lowered his long eyelashes. "I don't think this is a two-way choice. Miss Yu, have you ever thought about why most of the people attending this dinner are men?"

But when Yu Guanmiao heard Gu Chang say this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you trying to change the subject?"

She was silent for a moment, her expression gradually became cold, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

"Come on. You guys are full of lies. Dealing with you is no less than dancing with wolves. If you are not careful, you will die." Yu Guanmiao said, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes showed interest, "Is there no prey at this dinner that interests you? Or have you found the prey? Is it the man named Feng?" Her tone became more and more certain as she spoke to the end.

Gu Chang heard this and smiled slightly: "Ms. Yu, I said. Not everyone is like you think."

"So what?" Yu Guanmiao put the lady's cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, then lay back in the chair. "The contract mentioned that everyone living in that villa will help me. In other words, you have to do whatever I ask you to do. And I want you to make the most perfect product." Yu Guanmiao emphasized the last sentence.

Gu Chang raised his eyes slightly, his gaze cold and gloomy. "Ms. Yu, there are many things living in that villa. It's not what you think. Inanimate objects can also be helpful. For example, sofas. If you don't understand the relationship between humans and demons, then you can go and take a photo of a sofa as a model for your company."

Hearing what Gu Chang said, Yu Guanmiao pursed her lips. A hint of anger welled up in her eyes, and her voice rose a few notches as she spoke. "You should know that there's a price to pay for breaking a contract."

Yu Guanmiao is using the contract to pressure Gu Chang, forcing Gu Chang to become a commodity that she can control.

Gu Chang suddenly chuckled, "Contract? I haven't signed it. Go find whoever signed it." His voice was slightly hoarse, and a hint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes.

So far, Gu Chang didn't know what the contract said. But he was not the devil who signed the contract with Yu Guanmiao.

Yu Guanmiao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "Artis, are you unhappy that I'm treating you like a commodity?"

Gu Chang didn't say anything, the answer was obvious.

However, Gu Chang kindly reminded Yu Guanmiao: "Ms. Yu, when you treat me as a commodity, others are also treating you as a commodity."

Yu Guanmiao frowned. Would the devil be so kind as to remind people?

The last graphic model like Gu Chang, Rick, was also a demon.

Rick is a laid-back, fun-loving person, and if he's not happy before a shoot, the shoot won't go ahead.

Every time Yu Guanmiao interacted with him, there was a strong sense of tension.

But in the end Rick would laugh at her anger and continue with the shoot.

After doing this too many times, Yu Guanmiao would get bored.

After all, being angry often is bad for your health.

Rick seemed to have the same idea in mind and kept forcing Yu Guanmiao, making her angry.

Besides these, Rick also has to sleep with women and men everywhere. Of course, his favorite thing is coffee.

Rick never minded that Yu Guanmiao treated him as a commodity because he didn't care.

He was like a natural model, with perfect muscle lines that suited him well in any outfit. And his face was so exquisite that it would draw people's attention at first sight.

It's like... it's like I was born to do this.

But Yu Guanmiao knew that he could not be called a genius in the design world, because if there were too many geniuses of the same kind, he would not stand out so well.

She became a genius after making a deal with a devil. What attracted her to become a designer was a celebrity meet-and-greet event organized by her school.

She was only fifteen years old at the time and was studying abroad.

At that time, she thought she would become a lawyer. But when she saw a famous designer appear on the stage.

The unique clothing style attracted her deeply.

And that night, she had a beautiful dream. She became a designer who shone all over the world.

And by chance, he signed a contract with the devil.

If Yu Guanmiao were given a chance to do it again, she would never choose to sign a contract with the devil.

Because when she matured, she found that the beautiful dream she had at the age of fifteen was a bit strange.

But no matter what, Yu Guanmiao chose design as his major.

But there were also geniuses among my classmates, and quite a few of them.

Those novel ideas made Yu Guanmiao realize the meaning of the saying that there are always people better than you.

So she set a motto for herself.

It should be noted that when he was young, he had great ambitions and was once considered to be the best in the world.

She wanted to carve out a niche for herself. The deal with the devil would provide her with substantial assistance. At that point, she was even thankful she had made the deal in advance, allowing her to stand out among the other geniuses.

I thought the future would develop as she wanted.

But reality gave her a heavy blow.

The elders in her family disapproved of her rising to prominence. They believed a woman should be considerate of her husband's family and not suffer hardships outside. After Yu Guanmiao received her degree, she would return to China and participate in the family's marriage arrangements.

Yes, marriage.

Something that Yu Guanmiao had deliberately ignored.

Perhaps the Yu family could be considered a prestigious family in the past. However, after the test of time, a family without a solid foundation could not continue to carry on the family tradition.

The clan leader at that time proposed a solution, which was to let the women of the Yu family marry into other families in order to continue the family's lifeline.

The girl of the Yu family was gentle and intelligent, with a beauty that could overshadow the moon and flowers, and could captivate a whole nation.

They also wanted to do their part for the Yu family, so under the coaxing of the clan leader, they chose the marriage without hesitation.

But as for the men in the Yu family, all they did was enjoy the benefits of the marriage with peace of mind.

And now, they have set their sights on Yu Guanmiao again.

Because the only adult woman in the Yu family is Yu Guanmiao.

The long-term intermarriage resulted in the Yu family having more boys than girls. And because the elders in the clan favored boys over girls, some girls were not valued, and some died or became sick.

By Yu Guanmiao's generation, there were seventeen boys and five girls of the same age in the clan.

The other three have already been arranged to be married.

The remaining two are Yu Guanmiao and her sister, Yu Mengling.

The reason why they were not arranged to be married was because their mothers fought for it.

Their mother was well-educated and her relationship with their father was free, unlike other families whose marriages were arranged long ago.

Although Yu Guanmiao has the opportunity to study abroad, he will eventually be targeted by the elders in the clan.

"As a daughter of the Yu family, you must let others see your value."

This is what an old man in the clan once said to Yu Guanmiao.

Yu Guanmiao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.

She never expected that the idea she had despised all her life would eventually get her infected by it.

"As a human being, I don't think I'm wrong to treat you like this. But you reminded me that I shouldn't measure others by their value. I apologize to you." Yu Guanmiao stood up and leaned slightly towards Gu Chang.

Gu Chang also stood up and held her arm, "Ms. Yu, I just think that as an employee of the company, I have the right to know."

"And you probably haven't noticed that most of the participants in this dinner have dirty thoughts in their minds. So I want to ask Miss Yu, why did you attend this dinner?"

Yu Guanmiao's expression grew serious, and she straightened up. Gu Chang also withdrew his hand.

Yu Guanmiao said in a cold voice: "It's an elder in my family. He said that this dinner will have elites from all walks of life. It should be of great help to me. I thought about going to the show tomorrow and I have time to attend. I took you there because I wanted others to see your commercial value." At the end, Yu Guanmiao pursed his lips and lowered his thick eyelashes.

She figured it out. This dinner party was just a cover. It was simply because the elders in the family took a fancy to her unmarried status and had some ulterior motives.

It was just her fault for being too utilitarian, mistakenly thinking that those men's eager eyes were because they were attracted by her ability to make money.

No wonder those people who came to talk to me were all talking about relationship issues.

There were few words that could help her.

Thinking of this, Yu Guanmiao sighed, "Thank you, Artis."

She was working alone in City M and wanted so badly to succeed.

Furthermore, the deadline for the deal with the devil was almost up. That was why Yu Guanmiao was a little anxious and lost his calm judgment on certain things.

Gu Chang blinked, "Thank me for what?"

Yu Guanmiao smiled and said, "At least you let me know that there are also people like you who are not bad by nature. So we are friends now."

Gu Changwei widened his eyes slightly, "Then can my salary be increased?"

Yu Guanmiao's smile disappeared in an instant, "No."

Gu Chang, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to each other, they returned to their respective rooms.

They had to be at the show before nine o'clock tomorrow. It was already past eleven o'clock at night, so sleep time was especially precious.

However, Gu Chang felt that there would be no problem even if he didn't sleep.

So Gu Chang sat on the sofa in the room, took out his cell phone and called Ike.

Ike asked straight to the point, "Mr. Artis, do you understand the true relationship between humans and demons?"

Gu Chang was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Mr. Ike. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. I don't like to beat around the bush. Because I don't understand." Ike had deliberately avoided his questions before, and now it was Gu Chang's turn to do so.

The system clapped its hands on the side.

Ike, "..."

Ike said resignedly, "Okay, Mr. Artis. Actually, I just want you to know one thing. Humans are just humans. They have short lifespans, no more than a hundred years. Becoming friends or partners with humans is only a nuisance for demons. Miss Yu hid it from you, and after the truth is revealed, your relationship will not be so good. That's why I didn't tell you to attend the dinner."

"As for the dinner Miss Yu brought you to, I can tell you that it was fully organized by the Pang family. Of course, their main purpose was to meet Miss Yu. Because the Yu family has already extended an olive branch and is willing to marry into the Pang family. However, Miss Yu will not know this for the time being."

"And the reason we're letting you participate is so you can find a suitable feeder. This is also a good thing for you. However, I didn't expect you've already found a suitable feeder. It's Mr. Feng." Having said this, Ike paused, then said somewhat tactfully, "Mr. Feng doesn't look like he can satisfy your needs. I suggest you find two more."

Gu Chang, “······” so straightforward.

System, "Isn't this the straightforwardness you want, host?"

Gu Chang, “…”

Ike reminded again, "Don't be friends or partners with any human. That's what I want you to know."

Gu Chang, "...it seems that Yu Guanmiao and I have become friends."

Ike, "..."

Ike: "Okay, then you should get some rest early."

Gu Chang: "Bye."

Ike: "Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chang lay down on the sofa.

He was thinking about a question.

Why does Ike feel that Feng Yiheng cannot meet his needs?

why?

Feng Yiheng doesn't look weak either.

I have done this many times in my dreams. Every time it was nice.

Are dreams and reality the opposite?!

Gu Chang suddenly sat up from the sofa.

Yes, one cannot feel physical exertion in a dream. When Feng Yiheng wakes up the next day, he should just feel a little tired.

Gu Chang immediately stopped the dangerous thoughts in his mind.

No, no, no, no——————Probably not.

Absolutely not!

How about...after confessing...just give it a try?

Gu Chang was lost in thought.

At this time, Feng Yiheng, who was staying in another hotel, was sitting on a chair and sneezed.
